Day 1
St Ives and Lelant
Porthkidney Sands / Lelant Beach
Standard | Free |
---|
Notes
A great way to start the day is with a brisk walk on the beach. Porthkidney beach is frequented by locals throughout the year for exercise and to enjoy its magnificent views.
Getting there
Lelant is located between the A30 and St. Ives on the A3074. To get to the beach, turn off the A3074 onto Church Road at The Badger Inn in the centre of Lelant, and head toward St. Uny Church - located on a hair-pin bend.
St. Ives, Cornwall
Notes
There are loads of restaurants and cafes for refreshments in St Ives. If it's comfort food you're after, check out the locally caught fish and chips, or a fresh Cornish Pasty from one of the many specialist bakers in the town.
Getting there
It's about a 10 minute drive from Lelant to St. Ives. Allow extra time to find parking - and for traffic during the busy tourist period. Streets in the town itself are one way, and cars compete with pedestrians for road space, so avoid driving through the actual town if you can.

Notes
You'll definitely want to consider the tides before heading to St. Michael's Mount. I have always timed my trips with a low tide - where you can walk to the Mount and back along the walk way. At high tides, there's a boat service that operates.
Getting there
Park in the village of Marazion at one of the 2 car parks that overlook the bay.
Mousehole - Cornish Fishing Village
Getting there
The best route to Mousehole from St. Michael's mount follows the coast line. It's only 8 miles, but allow for around 20 minutes to get there. There's a large car park on the left just as you reach Mousehole.
